Read this article from One Degree.
Since I work in social media, I can’t help but feel that it’s transforming everything. Everything. (OK, well, maybe not Tom Waits.) But, really, isn’t it? It’s certainly changing the world of filmmaking.
I’m passionate about movies, both watching and participating. But the “traditional” system is quite flawed. From an audience perspective, there is a hunger to view content they can truly relate to. From the artists’ perspective, they want more control surrounding the content they create – from how they tell the story to the rights they have to them.”
